"text": "The need for receiving relevant, fast and up-to-date information in one's language is today more important than ever, especially under the current crisis conditions. Machine Translation (MT) is a vital tool for facilitating communication and access to information. For most of the world's languages, the lack of training data has long posed a major obstacle to developing high quality MT systems, excluding the speakers of these low resource languages from the benefits of MT. In the past few years, MT performance has improved significantly, mainly due to the new possibilities opened up by Neural Machine Translation (NMT). With the development of novel techniques, such as multilingual translation and transfer learning, the use of MT is no longer a privilege restricted to users of a dozen popular languages. Consequently, there has been an increasing interest in the MT community to expand the coverage to more languages with different geographical presence, degree of diffusion and digitalization. Today, research groups are working on MT in all continents. The number of languages offered by publicly available MT engines is increasing, reaching almost 200 languages at the moment of writing. We are witnessing an interesting phenomenon of collaborative projects to promote MT for under-represented languages, involving partners from all over the globe, participating on a voluntary basis. These developments have created a colourful, promising future for low resource languages on the machine translation map.",

"text": "Despite all these encouraging developments in MT technologies, creating an MT system for a new language from scratch or even improving an existing system still requires a considerable amount of work in collecting the pieces necessary for building such systems. Due to the data-hungry nature of NMT approaches, the need for parallel and monolingual corpora in different domains is never saturated. The development of MT systems requires reliable test sets and evaluation benchmarks. In addition, MT systems still rely on several NLP tools to pre-process human-generated texts in the forms that are required as input for MT systems and post-process the MT output in proper textual forms in the target language. These NLP tools include, but are not limited to, word tokenizers/de-tokenizers, word segmenters, morphological analysers. The performance of these tools has a great impact on the quality of the resulting translation. There is only limited discussion on these NLP tools, their methods, their role in training different MT systems, and their coverage of support in the many languages of the world.",

This year we received research papers covering a wide range of languages spoken in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe. These languages are: Ashaninka, Assamese, Bambara, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bicolano, Cebuano, English, Esperanto, French, Greek, Hiligaynon, Hindi, Ilocano, Kurdish, Manipuri, Pangasinense, Russian, Tagalog, Tamil, Vietnamese. We received both resource papers (monolingual, parallel corpora, formalisms) and methods papers, ranging from unsupervised, zero-shot to multilingual NMT. The acceptance rate of LoResMT this year is 60%.",
